Using Manual Slope Mode:
The DW079 Manual Slope Mode allows the self-leveling
function to be disabled in one axis (direction) so that the
laser can be sloped in that axis. The other axis will continue
to self-level, ensuring that the laser beam is only sloping in
the expected direction.
Entering and exiting Manual Slope Mode:
• To activate Manual Slope Mode, press and hold the
remote control manual mode button (N) for 3 seconds.
• To re-engage full self-leveling, press and hold the
manual mode button again for 3 seconds.
Setting the Slope Direction:
• When Manual Slope Mode is activated, the unit auto-
matically engages Manual Y Mode. This allows the
operator to slope the laser in the direction of the Y-axis,
as indicated by the “gunsights” on the rollcage.
In certain situations, it may be desirable to slope the
laser in the X-axis. The direction of Manual Slope Mode
can be changed back and forth between the Y- and
X-axes as follows:
• Immediately (within 5 seconds) after entering Manual
Slope Mode, press and hold the remote control right
arrow button to activate Manual X Mode.
• The unit can be changed back to Manual Y Mode by
immediately pressing and holding the remote control
left arrow button.
• To change the direction of Manual Slope Mode at a
later time, re-engage full self-leveling, then activate
Manual Slope Mode again and go through the axis
selection procedure outlined above.
The X and Y LED indicator lights on the laser unit control
panel (Fig. 3, K, J) will indicate the manual slope direction
that is selected. The manually controlled axis is identified
by a turned-off LED, and the self-leveling axis is identified
by a lighted LED.
Setting the Amount of Slope:
Once Manual Slope Mode is activated, the amount of
slope can be manually adjusted using any of the following
methods:
• Use the laser control panel up and down arrow buttons
(Fig. 3, G, H) to tilt the laser rotor head up and down.
OR
• Use the remote control up and down arrow buttons
(Fig. 3, O) to tilt the laser rotor head up and down.
OR
• The entire laser unit can be tipped up and down by
setting it on a sloped surface. Make sure the laser unit is
positioned so the direction of manual sloping is lined up in
the same direction as the sloped surface.
REMOTE CONTROL: ARROW BUTTONS
The arrow buttons (O, P) are used for different functions depending
on the operating mode of the laser unit.
In Self-Leveling Horizontal Mode:
The up and down arrows (O) adjust the length of the laser line
in Scan Mode.
The left and right arrows (P) adjust the direction of the laser
beam in Scan Mode or Pointing Mode (0 rpm).
In Self-Leveling Vertical Mode:
The up and down arrows (O) adjust the position of the laser
line in Scan Mode.
The left and right arrows (P) move the laser beam left and
right.
